The leading Han reindeer slowly walked to the girl's side, constantly rubbing her head against the girl's arm, as if she was very familiar with the girl.

The girl is also accustomed to this, stroking the reindeer's hairy head.

Lu Chen frowned slightly, and looked at the uncles and aunts not far away.

After hearing that this thing was a protected animal, the aunts and uncles also restrained a lot.

Just stand next to the reindeer and take a picture with them.

The reindeer herd stood stupidly beside the aunt and uncle, and seemed to be very close to humans.

Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder at the girl beside him:

"Are these animals so close to people?"

Even though these animals are docile and not aggressive, they don't usually get close to humans like this, do they?

The girl lowered her head and thought for a while, but she also noticed a trace of weirdness.

"Yes! How strange! When I used to take other tours, a lot of the animals wouldn't come out. ”

"Now when you meet the aunts and uncles, they seem to be eager to open for business?"

However, the girl looked at the aunts and uncles not far away, and the conversation changed.

"It is rumored that animals are all human, they know the good and bad of human beings, tour guide, you are good people, and the uncles and aunts are not bad by nature, so they are willing to come out."

The girl looked at the aunts and uncles in the distance, and her eyes showed a hint of relief.

Looking at the group of energetic elderly people in front of her, she looked a little dazed, and suddenly remembered her grandparents, and felt that this group of elderly people was particularly cute.

That's why she volunteered to take on the tour.

But before the sister could be relieved for long, the foodie uncle walked towards the girl and Lu Chen with a ball of dark green grass stuffed in his mouth.

"The tour guide guy smashed! You see, this grass will turn so red when I eat it! ”

Sister: "Eh, eh", "Σ(っ°Д°; )っ”

"Uncle, spit it out, it's not that your tongue is turning red! It's the tongue that's bleeding! ”

The girl hurriedly pulled out the grass in the foodie's uncle's mouth.

He took out a bottle of hemostatic spray from his pocket and sprayed it violently on the uncle's tongue.

Just as the girl was scrambling to deal with these, the aunt not far away had another accident.

The aunt picked up a bunch of antlers from somewhere, and was playing with them in her hand, but the dull eyes of the reindeer herd behind her suddenly became fierce.

"Auntie! Hurry up and throw the antlers away, or they'll think you're a poacher and have come to steal their antlers! ”

"What are you talking about?"

The girl rushed towards the aunt with an arrow step, and hurriedly knocked off the antlers on the aunt's hand.

Lu Chen on the side was eating bear biscuits, happily looking at the familiar scene in front of him.

After the girl dealt with these things, when she returned to the sightseeing car, she saw Lu Chen looking like he had been quiet for a long time, eating bear biscuits leisurely, and she was angry.

said angrily to Lu Chen: "You are the tour guide of the uncles and aunts, don't you care about them!" ”

Lu Chen just shook his head, seeing the haggard appearance of the girl in her heart, as if she had seen her previous self.

Comforted the girl and said: "Don't worry, uncle and aunt are just a little more energetic, and they are measured in doing things!" ”

Lu Chen handed the girl in front of him a bear biscuit, stared at the reindeer herd not far away, and said with some curiosity:

"By the way, isn't there something like a reindeer that isn't aggressive?"

"Why do they seem to have changed when they see Auntie picking up the antlers?"

The girl followed Lu Chen's gaze and glanced at the reindeer herd not far away, and her eyes were a little moved.

"That's what you say! This group of reindeer used to live in the reserve, but due to the flood of poachers, the group of reindeer was too old to continue living in the reserve, so we were accepted by our zoo. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly surprised: "Poachers? ”

Shouldn't poachers be stealing more precious animals? What is precious about the reindeer?

Before Lu Chen could continue to ask, the girl slowly opened her mouth to explain.

"Deer antler velvet is not only found in sika deer and red deer, but also in reindeer, because of its medicinal value, there will be many poachers who will attack them."

"There are quite a few reindeer that have been injured in the fight with poachers."

The girl's face was pale, and her tone was a little low.

Only then did Lu Chen see that many reindeer had bullets on their fur and traces of gunpowder burning.

I immediately understood why they had such a big hatred for the aunt who took the antlers.

Qin Shou looked at the shocking old wounds on the reindeer in front of him, and his face also showed a rare trace of resentment.

"These poachers are abominable! You can do it with such a cute silly reindeer! ”

"In fact, most of the animals in the zoo are rescued from circuses or animal protection parks, and try to build camps according to the previous habitat of the animals."

"Over the years, our zoo has also refused to perform animal shows, and the number of people watching them has become smaller and smaller, and now we are almost unable to make ends meet."

The girl's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, as if she was telling something sad.

After hearing the girl's words, Zhao Xiaotang on the side was a little puzzled.

"It stands to reason that the government doesn't give a lot of subsidies to zoos? How could the zoo not be open? ”

For a zoo of this size, the government gives tens of millions of subsidies every year, even if it is not profitable, it will definitely not reach the point where it cannot be opened.

The girl shook her head: "I'm afraid the cost of the zoo can't last for two months just by relying on government subsidies every day." ”

As a staff member at the zoo, she knows exactly how much the zoo basically costs every day.

Not to mention the abundance, the fresh bamboo of the giant pandas alone costs five figures every day.

The director is also a nitpicker, and strives for the best diet and habitat for the health of the animals.

This has also led to a sharp increase in the zoo's weekday expenses, and the fact that the park is not forced to perform animal shows, most of the audience is attracted to the newly opened zoo, and the income has plummeted.

The entire safari park has become in a state of making ends meet.

The girl did not continue to speak, but looked at the moose group not far away with some reluctance, and slowly returned to the car.

Next stop! Monkey Mountain!

Once here, the whole safari begins.

It is not like the previous two parks, but it can be described as lively, it is the center of the entire zoo, and the most densely populated place.

No matter which gate you enter from, the distance to Monkey Mountain is not much different.

All kinds of vendors shout endlessly, and there are even special animal medals on the side.

Among them are the medals of reindeer and ostriches that Lu Chen saw before.

In the crowd of people, two familiar figures appeared at the back of the tour group.

The photographer carried the camera, looked into the distance and rubbed his eyes.

Some disbelief said to Luo Cheng beside him:

"Brother! Am I dazzled, I just seem to have seen Lu Chen and the people in their tour group! ”
